Scuba diving travel opens up a whole new world or rather an existing world that very few people get to experience.
As Jacques Yves Cousteau said: The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever.
With approximately 71% of the planet covered by water be it with salt or fresh water that is a lot of places available to dive.
From the tropics to temperate environs to even under ice, from the open water of the ocean to the enclosed water of the lake to the really enclosed environment of caves the choices are varied.
Whether or not you like long dive times or prefer to get more technical and go deep the reasons to dive are probably are varied as the number of people that dive.
Some travel destinations are known for a certain type of scuba diving such as: * South Australia and South Africa - Great White Sharks * Cairns (Queensland, Australia) in April to July - Minke Whales * South Africa (East Coast) May to July - Sardine run * Solomon Islands - WWII wrecks * Scarpa Flow (Scotland) - WWII wrecks * Ningaloo (Western Australia) - Whale Sharks * Galapagos Islands - schooling Hammerhead Sharks and Marine Iguanas * Bonaire (Netherland Antilles) - shore diving * Cozumel - drift diving * Antartica (McMurdo Sound) - ice diving * California - kelp diving All budget levels can be catered for from low cost shore diving to luxury all-inclusive liveaboards.
For the divers that only dive during their annual vacation exceeding the luggage allowances on airlines can lead to excess luggage charges.
From smaller BCDs to gear bags on wheels scuba diving travel is now easier with equipment being designed with the traveler in mind.
